When you see something that is technically sweet you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb.

I can honestly say that I was never affected by the question of the success of an undertaking. If I felt it was the right thing to do I was for it regardless of the possible outcome.

It's very easy for me to say what success is. I think success is connecting with an audience who understands you and having a dialogue with them. I think success is continuing to push yourself forward creatively and not sort of becoming a caricature of yourself.

Along with success comes a reputation for wisdom.

Raising children is an uncertain thing success is reached only after a life of battle and worry.

The road to success is always under construction.

No one succeeds without effort... Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.

Always remember that striving and struggle precede success even in the dictionary.

It is only the cynicism that is born of success that is penetrating and valid.

Whether you come from a council estate or a country estate your success will be determined by your own confidence and fortitude.
